MY TALBOTT ANCESTORS

My TALBOTT ANCESTORS

withsome of their documentation

BENJAMIN TALBOTT b. 15 June 1811 in Bourbon Co., KY

Benjamin Talbott was b. 15 June 1811 in Bourbon Co., KY, s/o Daniel Talbott and Elizabeth "Betsy" Paris. Benjamin appears in Franklin Co., IL and was in the Indian War there as was Anderson Farris, believed to be related to Benjamin's wife, Laura Farris. It is certain that she was related - probably a sister - to Lucian Farris of Reynolds Co., MO. Benjamin married Laura Farris b. 12 Feb 1818, d. 16 Apr 1879. It is unknown where they married but probably in Illinois as their first child, James Carter Talbott was born in Coles Co., IL. They moved to Washington Co., MO by 1840 as they are there in the 1840 census. Benjamin was also a 2nd Lt. in the Mexican War and a Capt. in the Civil War. He killed a man at a circus, according to the History of the county and was jailed. This would have been at the time of the Civil War as he excaped from jail (according to a letter - with a little help from his friends) and was killed by bushwhackers at his home. I find Benjamin to be one of the most interesting characters in my ancestry and have given talks about him to genealogical societies as I have so much documentation and believe I know more about him than his wife probably did. Probably a good thing she didn't know as much.

Their children were:

***1. James Carter Talbott b. 25 Feb 1833 Coles Co., IL (my great grandfather - more about him later)2. William Hazlet Talbott b. 7 Mar 1835 MO, d. 12 Mar 1863. He m. 19 Aug 1855 Franklin Co., MO to CathrineDorinen. He was in the Civil War and according to Confederate records, he died March 12, 1863 at Camp nearLittle Rock. He served as Capt. in Co. D 12 Regt MO - White's Regt. He had enlisted in Carter Co., MO on 29 July 1862 and on another confederate record shows he enlisted 21 Aug 1862 in Oregon Co., MO. I have no recordof his family.3. Sarah L. Talbott b. 6 Dec 1849 MO, d. 26 Nov 1885; m. 15 June 1868 Jefferson Co., MO to Allen Delcour. Itappears that her name may have been shown as Sarah Talbert.4. Amanda Talbott b. 16 Apr 1856 MO, d. 4 Aug 1917 in Carterville, Jasper Co., MO (this is where my grandparentswere married in 1897 and where Amanda's brother,James C. Talbott was living when he died in 1922); Amanda m. ____ Jones5. Laura A. Talbott b. ca. 1838 MO, d. after 1880; m. Levi Gibson. 1860 St. Francois Co., MO (next door to her sister and her mother closeby on this same census. 1880 Dent Co., MO 18806. Juliet/Julia N. Talbott b. ca. 1840 MO, d. 5 Mar 1907 MO; m. 3 Feb 1859 Washington Co., MO to John B. Ross. She is shown as Julia N. and Julia Ann. They apear in the 1880 and 1900 Washington Co., MO census7. Mary Elizabeth Talbott b. 27 Aug 1842 MO, d. 3 May 1888; m.16 Aug 1859 St. Francois Co., MO to David V. Gibson (probably a brother to Levi Gibson who maried Mary's sister, Laura A. Talbott). Mary and David Gibson are found on the 1860 and 1870 St.Francois Co., MO Census8. Hiram P. (middle name probably Paris) Talbott b. ca. 1844-5 MO; m. Prudence Leeper as her second husband. I believe Paris is his middle name as his grandfather, DanielTalbott, was a guardian of Hiram Paris (found as Hiram Parish is KY court records),probably Betsy Paris' nephew when her brother, Moses Paris, died. Hiram also servedin the Civil war as a Private in Co. D, Missouri Infantry as a Confederate - in thesame unit as his brothers, William H. Talbott and James C. who also served as aPrivate. Hiram got involved with a murder when his brother, James C. Talbott (my great grandfather), wasstabbed in 1870. Thinking James C. had been killed, friends found Hiram and toldhim that hisbrother had been killed. Hiram was handed a gun (according to newspaper accounts - found in this blog) and rode into town and killedthe man who stabbed his brother. Hiram thenrode out of town and was later arrested, found guilty of 2nd degree murder andsentenced to three years in the penitentiary but was pardoned by the governor. Ihave the newspaper account and the penitentiary records. Hiram and his wife,Prudence are found on the 1900 Crawford Co., MO Census. Hiram had liver cancer andhad been treated for it by his brother-in-law Columbus Missey. Hiram died about1912 and his wife moved to Oregon with her children where she died. Hiram had two sons: 1. Clarence Talbott b. June 1875 MO 2. Pierce Talbott b. Jan 1884 Texas9. Cynthia N. Talbott b. 3 Apr 1848 Washington Co., MO, d. 28 Mar 1896 Vilander, Crawford Co., MO; m.Columbus F. Missey. They are both buried at Harrison Cemetery. Columbus F. Missey's son, Albert Paris Missey kept a journal and some of the information came from this source.10. Kennett Talbott b. ca. 1852 MO11. Emma Talbott b. ca. 1853-4 MO; m. John A. Wright. One of their children is named Albertine so it is possible that the next child was, indeed, Albertine - not Albert. They appear on the 1880 Washington Co., MO Census. I have a picture of their daughter, Hattie (taken in Chicago), which was in my grandmother's belongings.12. Albert/Albertine Talbott b. 1858-59 MO. This child has been shown as a female in 1860 St. Francois Co., MO census and as a male in the 1870 Washington Co., MO Census13. Benjamin C. Talbott b. ca. 1852 MO14. Marie Talbott b. 1 Aug 1838.

*** My direct lineage

JAMES CARTER TALBOTT b. 25 Feb 1833 Coles Co., IL

This picture is of James Carter Talbott and, I believe, the writing on the back was written (in part) by him.

The date of death and the date picture taken appears to be in the handwriting of my uncle, Everson Talbot "Tab" Simonson. It appears to me that James Carter Talbott is not 72 years of age in this picture. I have other pictures that are of him at an older age.

I am soooo anxious to hear from others who descend through J. C. Carter. He is the father of my grandmother, Ella Talbott who married my grandfather, Jesse Russell Simonson.

James Carter Talbott was b. 25 Feb 1833 Coles Co., IL, d. 6 Jan 1939 Carterville, Jasper Co., MO. James C. "Jim" Talbott was the first child of Benjamin Talbott and Laura Farris. I don't know how the "Carter" name fits into the family at this point nor why his mother (she was the only one really necessary to be there at the time of his birth) was in Coles Co., IL. As far as I know, his mother was born in Illinois, but I do not know where. James C. Talbott was in the Civil War and served with his brothers, William H. and Hiram P., for the Confederacy. One of his nieces said that James Carter Talbott was a man who carried a Bible in one pocket and a flask of whiskey in the other and loved to argue the bible. I am very very fortunate to have many letters that James C. Talbott wrote to his youngest daughter, my grandmother. He was a very loving and caring father. I may later add these letters to another page designated just for that purpose. Let me know if any are interested in this endeavor. One of these letters was written by Hiram T. Talbott on the day his father, James C. Talbott, died and was written to his sister, Ella Talbott, my grandmother. James Carter Talbott was also a Justice of the Peace and performed many marriages and among them were for some of his own relatives. James C. Talbott pictured in his Confederate uniform with his son, Washington Valentine Talbott as a child.

James Carter Talbott m/4: 5 Oct 1887 Ollie M. Cole. They had no children of their own. In the handwritten notes of James Carter Talbott it is stated that Ollie M. Goade b. 25 May 1884, d. 1 Mar 1903. I'm not sure if this was a child of Ollie's by a previous marriage or who she is. In addition to Ollie M. Goade are others in the James Talbott Family Record who are related to the family.

THE EVENT OF HIRAM P. TALBOTT KILLING JASPER VANDEVER TO AVENGE STABBING OF JAMES C. TALBOTT AS RELATED IN THE NEWSPAPER ACCOUNT.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY -- One man seriously cut, and another killed!
A horrible tragedy transpired at Coleman's Store, Liberty township, in this county, on Saturday last, resulting in the infliction of seven serious knife wounds upon one party, and the instantaneous killing, by a pistol shot, of another.
During Saturday afternoon a considerable crowd had assembled in the vicinity of Mr. Firmin Coleman's store, to participate in a shooting match. At about three o'clock, according to our information, many of the party having become Intoxicated and boisterous, Jasper Vandever - a young man who had not heretofore borne a good character, -- made an assault (which we are assured was entirely unprovoked) upon the person of James Talbott, who had been engaged in the match.
That part of the affair not having been up to the present time made the subject of legal Investigation, we are unable to give the details. In the course of the difficulty, however, Vandever inflicted upon Talbott seven severe stabs with a large, ugly looking pocket knife.
The Injured man was placed on the porch of Mr. Coleman's store In a bleeding, fainting condition, and medical aid summoned. A little later In the afternoon Hiram Talbott, a younger brother of the victim of the first affray, returned to the neighborhood from a visit to the residence of his sister, on Black river. At the store of Mr. A. L. Edwards, about two miles from the scene of bloodshed he was first Informed of the affair, by a bystander. A young acquaintance, Marion Walser, according to the evidence adduced, then proposed to Hiram Talbott to go to the place where his brother was supposed to be lying in a dying condition, and kill Vandever.
The two rode off together to Coleman's store, one of them borrowing a pistol on the way and Walser carrying It, arrived upon the spot and in the immediate presence of the wounded man, another scene of blood was quickly enacted. Just after dismounting, Walser drew forth the pistol and handed it to young Talbott. Vandever was advancing upon the porch at the moment -It is stated by some with a show to attack another man who had In some way offended him. As young Talbott saw him advancing, he accosted him with a peremptory challenge, to which, however, Vandever did not seem to heed, at all. With his first attempt Talbott did not discharge his pistol - It snapping; Instantly re-cocking It he fired, and with but too deadly aim. With the report Vandever fell forward upon his face, and with a gasp or two expired.
Talbott, seeing the fearful result of his passion, threw down his pistol, mounted his horse, and hurriedly rode away. Walser followed soon after, and before the authorities could be apprised of the fact the two made good their escape under cover of night. A subsequent examination of the body of Vandever discovered that the pistol ball had entered the right side, and passing through is heart, come out upon the left. The weapon used was a clumsy, single-barreled pistol, made from the breech of a common rifle barrel, very plainly mounted and about 44 caliber. In Vandevere's pocket was found the knife with which he cut Talbott, and projecting from his boot leg an Iron poker, both of which, together with the pistol, are now in the possession of Sheriff Breckenridge. Beside the stabs received by James Talbott, in his encounter with Vandever, the latter bruised him severely In the breast by repeated blows with a rock. He has, however, so far recovered from his injuries as to have been removed to his home, and is now reported In a fair way for recovery.
Of the slain and his slayer, it is but just for us to repeat in this connection what we have heard Iterated and reiterated by their neighbors; that while Vandever was a vicious, dangerous man, especially under the Influence of Intoxicating liquors, as was very frequently the case, Talbott has been known as a peaceable and strictly temperate young man, easily Influenced, and of a very impulsive temperament.

Interesting sidelights into my ancestor (is he yours?)

War of the Rebellion - Series I - Vol. III, pub. 1881

Camp Benton, Mo., August 25, 1861.

Capt. Ben Talbot:

Sir: I am instructed by Brig. Gen. M. Jeff. Thompson to call your earnest attention to the inclosed general orders.* (*not found) He has heard with much indignation that you are carrying on an indeiscriminate course of impressment, and that friends suffer as often as foes by your actions. He desires me to assure you, on his word of honor, that he will hold you strictly accountable for your action in these matters; or, to use his own words, 'Tell Captain Talbot, by God, I'll hang the first man, be he private or officer, be he sworn in the service or not, who transgresses the inclosed general orders'. John M. Langan, Asst. Adjt. Gen., First Mil. Dist., Missouri State Guard."
